Everything seems to happen in the blink of an eye at this time in life therefore the question arises: Does time have the tendency to heal things?
Role of Time in Healing:
According to Heather Z. Lyons, Ph.D., licensed psychologist and owner of the Baltimore Therapy Group, time essentially equals opportunity. As a result, how someone heals over time is ultimately determined by how they choose to mold their present and future circumstances. People can use time to achieve awareness, healthier relationships, and a growth mindset. "Some people will use time as an opportunity to collect experiences that orient them toward their values and dilute or challenge difficult experiences" People can, for example, connect with friends, form new relationships, or engage in rewarding hobbies to aid in the healing process.
Times Guides To Honour Your Emotions:
Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to feel everything. This is crucial following a stressful event, such as a breakup, a death, or bodily damage. In order to go past the experience, let go of any associated judgment and give yourself permission to accept and feel whatever arises.
With Time Make Sure You Match Your Behavior to Your Values:
People benefit from participating in activities that help them live lives consistent with their values. So engage in your favorite pastimes and create new memories doing what you love to aid in your own deeper healing. Time is a key factor during the entire process of developing trust.
In light of this information although it is one of the most well-known proverbs, "time heals all wounds" may not always be the case. Even while time isn't strictly a healer, it can provide healing purposes. However, it's ultimately up to you to figure out how to heal yourself in the time that passes after suffering a wound or trauma. If you heal more slowly than you would like, try not to feel guilty about it. Give yourself grace and patience during this period because everyone heals on their own timeline.
'Time also allows for reflection on the complex experience in a way that promotes insight and the ability to move on.’
